Chris Parker, Marine Weather Center, has received information from a cruising boat SV Scintilla on a passage to Horta of a large obstruction with attached buoy as follows:
“We have just seen a large obstruction mostly submerged with orange buoy either having being attached or attached from the get go .
Hard to say what it was but part seemed to stick out of the water a couple of feet. So maybe a lot of the obstruction is under water .
I think I’ve told SV Ostrika close behind us but you may know of other boats it might concern and direction it might be heading . If it had been night we’d have had no chance of seeing it.”
Large obstruction with Orange buoy attached latitude 38’32.721 N
